I just opened a container of Dannon Yogurt. The inner freshness seal had an ad for ‘Dannon All Natural…’
I think it is time to distinguish what is natural and what is not.
For example: if you go and watch the Milk video, you’ll know, that anything that is made with commercial milk, can’t be natural. The cow is treated with stuff that is not natural, so the cow’s meat, the cow’s milk is already not natural when it is still live in the cow.
Second: in compliance with some inane law, all milk for commercial consumption must go through pasteurization.
Pasteurization, the process of heating a liquid, particularly milk , to a temperature between 55 and 70 degrees C (131 and 158 degrees F), to destroy harmful bacteria without materially changing the composition, flavor, or nutritive value of the liquid.
The process is named after the French chemist Louis Pasteur , who devised it in 1865 to inhibit fermentation of wine and milk. Milk is pasteurized by heating at a temperature of 63 degrees C (145 degrees F) for 30 minutes, rapidly cooling it, and then storing it at a temperature below 10 degrees C (50 degrees F).
Now, it seems that this process, pasteurization is in the interest of the consumer, but far from it. It is in the interest of the milk industry: the expiration of the milk can be extended by a few days… longer shelf life.
In nature, milk will start to ferment a few hours after it is “out of the cow”. That is natural milk.
Fermented milk is actually very good for you, refreshing, etc.
Pasteurized milk is not natural.
A second element of milk/yogurt bought in a store is homogenized, it has an emulsifying agent to prevent the cream from separating and rising to the top.
This emulsifying agent also an added chemical, that also causes your cholesterol to be foaming up your blood… I can’t imagine that being good for you.
In this article I demonstrated the difference between all natural and ‘all natural’, as in hype and lie.
Just an FYI…
I have been trying to buy unprocessed milk in my area. I found a farm that would sell me milk if I signed a declaration that I won’t tell anyone. If I did, they would be “criminals” by selling something that isn’t poisoned according to government guidelines.
